I've already got one of them but its not the right firmware for fibre..

There's a link to the Fibre firmware in this thread http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,109784.0.html

The new router is sitting in the sorting office on the other side of town having been "delivered" at 13:30 this afternoon. apparently its too big to fit through the letter box although in the past the postie has pushed bigger boxes through the letter box.
I'm going to grab the firmware and flash utility just in case

Having just checked your account I can see that the router has been dispatched. Let me know (as I'm sure you would anyway) if it doesn't get there in time of if there's any issues with it.

I picked it up from the Sorting Office 5 minutes before it closed tonight.
Now I'm just waiting for BT to cancel because of the snow

I'd not worry, I've just check the order, both its status and the notes don't indicate any issues.

OK thanks

They've been and gone..
Now 26.3 down and 8.48 up
  IP Profile for the line is - 38.72 Mbps
Upstream Rate IP profile on the line is - 10 Mbps
I'm on unlimited fibre but suspect this is the max I'll get this far from the cab.

Plugged in a cable rather than using the wireless and got this:

glad to see that went to plan.

So am I ... BT turned up, plugged something in, went down to the cab and swapped things over, came back, and replaced the faceplate and connected the modem and the Thomson router, made sure we could connect and left. Total time was about 30 minutes...
They said that I was one of the few getting an install done today. One of the engineers usually works in Droitwich but BT had pulled him closer to home because of the snow.

I had much lower speeds on wireless with the PN router. I'm using an Asus RT-N56U now & there's no loss.
